Q: Orika: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Object cannot be cast to mapper.Name I'm doing sample example orika mapper documentation in here section Mapping elements of Arrays and Lists.
Below is my code to create mapperFacade and convert Person object to PersonDto -
Name class definition -
    public class Name {
        private String first;
        private String last;
        private String fullName;
        // getters/setters

}

    Map<String,String> fieldMap = new HashMap<>();
    fieldMap.put("names{fullName}", "personalNames{key}");
    fieldMap.put("names{}", "personalNames{value}");
    MapperFactory mapperFactory = new DefaultMapperFactory.Builder().mapNulls(false).dumpStateOnException(false).build();
    ClassMapBuilder<Person, PersonDto> classBuilder = mapperFactory.classMap(Person.class, PersonDto.class);
    fieldMap.forEach((k,v) -> classBuilder.field(k,v));
    classBuilder.register();
    BoundMapperFacade<Person, PersonDto> delegate = mapperFactory.getMapperFacade(Person.class, PersonDto.class);

    Person person = new Person();
    Name n1 = new Name("raj", "kumar", "raj kumar");
    Name n2 = new Name("senthil", "kumar", "senthil kumar");
    person.setNames(Arrays.asList(n1, n2));

I have this code hosted on github here.
What is wrong with my code? How can I fix this issue?

A: The issue happens because Java Generics are stripped out in runtime. Map.Entry<String, Name> (compile time) becomes Map.Entry<Object, Object> (runtime).
You can overcome the problem by adjusting the ClassMapBuilder as follows:
Map<String, String> fieldMap = new HashMap<>();
fieldMap.put("names{fullName}", "personalNames{key}");
fieldMap.put("names{}", "personalNames{value}");
MapperFactory mapperFactory = new DefaultMapperFactory.Builder().mapNulls(false).dumpStateOnException(false).build();
// Swap Person, PersonDto generic arguments.
ClassMapBuilder<PersonDto, Person> classBuilder = mapperFactory.classMap(PersonDto.class, Person.class);
fieldMap.forEach((k, v) -> classBuilder.field(v, k));
classBuilder.register();
// rest of the code is the same

A challenge to our higher institutions. If Uganda can do it, why can't we?
Students at the University of Makerere in Uganda have finalized designs for a smartphone, in an attempt to localise production and create a specifically Ugandan device for the market.
A prototype of the device, which is to be known as the Pearl, will be available by June. The Pearl will display a number of special features including GPS-tracking, data analysis, biometric security, and a mobile weather station, reports the New Vision. "We completed the design late last year. The prototype will be out in June," revealed Cosmas Mwikirize, assistant principal investigator working on the project.
"Uganda, like most of the other African nations, has always been a consuming country for foreign technologies. We want to prove that these things can also be done here," he added. Makerere University has gleaned particular attention for its technological enterprises over recent months, having designed and launched an electric car – the Kiira EV – in November 2011. The Ugandan government provides funding to the university's college of technology to enable the ongoing and numerous technology projects taking place.
The university enjoys USh154 billion (US$57.5 million) of funding to cover the current twelve projects.
The college of technology has also received in excess of USh1 billion (US$374,000) from external development sources over the past year – in support of the two flagship projects, namely the Pearl and a project to create a solar-powered electric bus for public transport, to be known as the Kayoola.

The Parts Canada Cup: The battle for amateur motocross supremacy is on as West meets East at the TransCan
August 10, 2012 – Posted in: Years Past
The Parts Canada Cup returns for 2012 and will see Canada's top East and West amateurs battle for bragging rights, regional pride and the coveted cup itself between pro motos on Sunday, August 19th at Walton Raceway.
"Parts Canada is honoured to be involved in the Canada Cup at the TransCan. The TransCan is the preeminent outdoor motocross race in the country and we consider ourselves lucky to be associated with all of the talented riders and organizers of the event," says Parts Canada President, James Danyluk. "We (Parts Canada) are excited to be in our third year as the title sponsor of the Parts Canada TransCan at Walton and as the sponsor of the Parts Canada Cup East/West Shootout," continues Parts Canada's Marketing Manager, Laura Lang.
The Parts Canada Cup runs as an East vs. West team shootout format with youth and amateur racers from the East Coast and West Coast going to head-to-head to determine which region produced the fastest young riders in 2012. Team Managers spend the TransCan week deciding which amateur and youth riders will wear the blue (West) or yellow (East) Parts Canada Cup bibs on the track on Sunday.
"This has been a great event for many years, and after tornados in the area brought weather that ultimately lead to the cancellation of the event last year, we're even more excited for it this year," explains Lang. "It's a big deal for a racer to be selected to participate and showcase their abilities. It's a fantastic opportunity to join together as a team in what is otherwise an individual sport, and be part of the Parts Canada Cup experience. We love being able to give the amateurs another chance to get out on the track and race!"
Since 1992, The Parts Canada TransCan at Walton Raceway has showcased the talents of Canada's top amateur motocross racers, as they compete for Canadian Motocross Grand National Championships. With the 2011 race rained out, the last Cup race was held in 2010, when Team East won by finishing just 32 point in front of Team West.

Vasudha Thozhur
Interior: 2002
- Vasudha Thozhur was born on October 14, 1956 in Mysore city. She has trained in Madras (now Chennai) and in England. She completed her Diploma in Painting from the College of Arts and Crafts, Madras in 1979 after which she did her post Diploma in Painting at the Croydon School of Art and Design in the United Kingdom. She presently lives and works in Madras.
Vasudha has not restricted herself to a single medium. She works with water colours as well as oils and the features of one media flow into the other to remarkable effect. Her use of colour is energizing and her paintings, non-judgmental. The bold and forceful gestures never fail to evoke a response from the viewer. Vasudha's paintings reflect a strong element of drawing. One particularly notices the use of lines which is in keeping with her belief of their importance.
Interestingly, her work is non-committal in the sense that it defies all attempts at leading the viewer to a single interpretation. The use of a number of metaphors within a painting encourages each one to interpret her work in their own way depending on their past experiences and the feelings evoked by her creations. The various images take birth in Vasudha's imagination and are not representations of the phenomenal world as it were. She has a number of exhibitions to her credit including a 2-person show at the Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris. - Vasudha Thozhur was born on October 14, 1956 in Mysore city.

UAH Center for Space Plasma and Aeronautic Research (CSPAR) research scientist Dr. Tyson Littenberg, left, and space science graduate student Jessica Page helped the LIGO team with computer algorithms to extract physical information from the detection.
The gravitational waves were detected on Sept. 14, 2015, at 5:51 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (9:51 UTC) by both of the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, located in Livingston, La., and Hanford, Wash., USA. The LIGO Observatories are funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and were conceived, built, and are operated by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The discovery, accepted for publication in the journal Physical Review Letters, was made by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (which includes the GEO Collaboration and the Australian Consortium for Interferometric Gravitational Astronomy) and the Virgo Collaboration using data from the two LIGO detectors.
The significance of this discovery cannot be overstated. Gravitational waves are the last missing confirmation of Einstein's general theory of relativity – our most fundamental understanding of how physics works in the macroscopic world.
Research scientist Dr. Tyson Littenberg at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research (CSPAR) helped the LIGO team develop sophisticated computer algorithms that comb through data and extract physical information from a detection. Dr. Littenberg has been involved in LIGO-related research since 2007 and applied on behalf of UAH for the university to become a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. UAH was accepted in 2015.
Once it appeared that waves were detected, Dr. Littenberg found himself at the center of the action.
"I knew within a few hours of the detection on Sept. 14 that we had something big. Really big," he said. "Two of the data analysis efforts that I work on were right at the center of the action. Our job is to take a small segment of data that has been identified as being potentially interesting, and do an exhaustive analysis to figure out what the gravitational wave signal looked like in our detectors. It took months of analysis, re-analysis, checking, rechecking, and re-rechecking of the results before we were ready to say with confidence that we had something, and precisely what we had. The stakes are so high, we tried over and over again to prove ourselves wrong until, exhausted, we admitted defeat and said, 'This is really it.'"
The LIGO discovery has broad connections in the fields of fundamental physics, astrophysics and astronomy.
"The significance of this discovery cannot be overstated. Gravitational waves are the last missing confirmation of Einstein's general theory of relativity - our most fundamental understanding of how physics works in the macroscopic world," Dr. Littenberg said. "LIGO has been working towards this moment for decades. Hundreds of scientists from the world over have dedicated their professional lives to getting this first detection. Hundreds more are hinging their careers on the gamble that gravitational wave detection would pay off.
"The gravitational wave research community has been holding its collective breath for decades waiting for the detections to start rolling in, so we could really get to work," he said. "The scientific world changed forever on Sept. 14."
Gravitational waves come to us from a regime of gravity that we have never been able to test before, Dr. Littenberg said. "This is a place where gravity is extremely strong - near a black hole - and changing extremely rapidly. The two black holes move at almost the speed of light before they collide."
One of the team's early questions was whether the observation was consistent with general relativity.
"So far the answer is yes, but as we get more and more detections, we will be looking very carefully to see if our theoretical understanding at any point doesn't match the data," said Dr. Littenberg.
"Almost everything we know about the universe has come to us from light. Now that we are receiving signals from the gravitational universe, we can learn about what is going on out there with a brand new 'sense,'" he said. "Thanks to this discovery we have finally turned on the 'sound track' of the universe. With it we have impressive detail about the collision of two black holes a billion light years away and we would never have known about it from telescopes - even inconceivably futuristic ones. The thrill is that we know there will be more."
That's because LIGO's first observing run was really a warm-up exercise and was not conducted at full sensitivity.
"That means, as the detectors continue to improve, we will detect many more gravitational wave signals," said Dr. Littenberg. "We have a brand new tool for learning about the universe. That doesn't happen every day!"
LIGO collected data until Jan. 12 but scientists have only gotten through the data collected up to Oct. 20.
"While we are working our way through the remaining data, work has already begun at the observatories to further improve the performance," Dr. Littenberg said. "Late this year we will start observing again with better sensitivity, and that means even more detections."
Meanwhile, the Virgo observatory in Italy is readying a detector for the next observing campaign, as well.
A representative graphic shows two black holes merging.
"The more detectors we have running, the more precisely we can measure characteristics of the source," he said. "Long term, another detector is under construction in Japan and a fifth detector is being planned for construction in India. Looking further down the road, space-based detectors have been studied for years to detect lower frequency gravitational waves, and there is an ongoing campaign monitoring pulsars to detect ultra-low frequency signals."
The confirmed discovery of gravitational waves should create even more excitement for the improvement of the ground-based detectors and advance prospects for space-based observations.
"LIGO's detection does not mark the end of a long journey; it is the first step," Dr. Littenberg said. "We have only gotten a few drops from the coming flood of discovery."
Working with Dr. Littenberg, Department of Space Science graduate student Jessica Page studies simulated gravitational wave signals to further validate the performance of the LIGO data analysis methods.
"Although it was only my first semester working with LIGO at the time of detection,' she said, "I am proud to be a part of such a bright and dedicated global team of scientists and I look forward to the next few exciting years to follow."
A discovery will open a new door to the universe, said Dr. Gary Zank, CSPAR director and chair of the UAH Department of Space Science.
"Waves carry information. We use all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum - optical, infrared, ultraviolet, energetic particles - to investigate the distant universe," Dr. Zank said. "Gravitational waves carry information from some of the most energetically violent events in the universe, meaning that we will have a new spectrum from which to learn new physics."
Verification of the existence of gravitational waves will mean researchers can begin to learn more about the physics of these waves, Dr. Zank said. "We will begin to explore all the fascinating complications and implications of gravity wave propagation in a way that wouldn't otherwise be possible."
Dr. Littenberg's involvement offers CSPAR and Department of Space Science (SPA) students "an unprecedented opportunity to be part of the excitement, and we fully expect that many graduate students will want to enter this field," Dr. Zank said. "Nowhere else in Alabama is this work being done."
Being part of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration places CSPAR and SPA at the forefront of modern general relativity, he said.
"This adds to an already world-class group of high-energy astrophysicists in CSPAR, some of whom are studying gamma ray bursts. Gamma ray bursts may very well come from the same sources that trigger gravitational waves, so we have considerable synergy in these fields at CSPAR and SPA and it is likely to make SPA a magnet for students wanting to study high-energy processes in astrophysics," Dr. Zank said. "This ties in closely to our NASA Marshall Space Flight Center partners, with whom we work closely on many of these problems."
LIGO was originally proposed as a means of detecting these gravitational waves in the 1980s by Dr. Rainer Weiss, professor of physics, emeritus, from MIT; Dr. Kip Thorne, Caltech's Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, emeritus; and Dr. Ronald Drever, professor of physics, emeritus, also from Caltech.
A Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detector facility.
Virgo research is carried out by the Virgo Collaboration, consisting of more than 250 physicists and engineers belonging to 19 different European research groups: six from Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in France; eight from the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) in Italy; two in The Netherlands with Nikhef; the Wigner RCP in Hungary; the POLGRAW group in Poland and the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO), the laboratory hosting the Virgo detector near Pisa in Italy.
The discovery was made possible by the enhanced capabilities of Advanced LIGO, a major upgrade that increases the sensitivity of the instruments compared to the first generation LIGO detectors, enabling a large increase in the volume of the universe probed - and the discovery of gravitational waves during its first observation run. The US National Science Foundation leads in financial support for Advanced LIGO. Funding organizations in Germany (Max Planck Society), the U.K. (Science and Technology Facilities Council, STFC) and Australia (Australian Research Council) also have made significant commitments to the project.
Several of the key technologies that made Advanced LIGO so much more sensitive have been developed and tested by the German UK GEO collaboration. Significant computer resources have been contributed by the AEI Hannover Atlas Cluster, the LIGO Laboratory, Syracuse University and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Several universities designed, built and tested key components for Advanced LIGO: The Australian National University, the University of Adelaide, the University of Florida, Stanford University, Columbia University in the City of New York and Louisiana State University.


The MOD switch was built with the keyboard community in mind. The switch was designed by the community. An ergo clear switch consists of using either a Cherry Brown or Cherry Red weighted spring in a Cherry Clear switch, a tactile touch switch with a larger bump than the Cherry Brown. We eliminated everything in between and have provided such a switch without the repetitive task. The switch is lubricated on the the side of the sliders for more smooth and less scratchy feeling.
These switches are a hybrid between Cherry Brown and Cherry Clear switches. They are perfect for the light typists who crave that tactile bump.
The medium weight has a slightly more resistance than the MOD-L. The tactile bump is moderately stronger.
The heavy weight bottoms out at approximately ~80g. For the typists with a stronger hand, the tactile bump is identical to the MOD-M.
These screw-in stabilizers are used to provide a solid foundation for larger keys. They are meant for keys bigger than 2u. The screw-in helps with a tighter fit and better stability.
The set comes with four 2u pieces along with one 7u or 6.25u piece.
These springs are plated with 24K gold. The actuation force should be similar with a more springy response.
55g are extra light springs. These are lighter than your Cherry Red springs.
Light Springs are 62g. The light springs are similar to Cherry Brown and Red springs.
Medium Springs are 68g. Like what it sounds, it's the medium between light and heavy. You get a feeling of the Cherry Vintage Black in a lighter touch.
Heavy Springs are around 72g. The heavy springs are close to Cherry Vintage Black springs.
These stabilizers are used to provide a solid foundation for larger keys. They are meant for keys bigger than 2u.
Compatible with both PCB and Plate Mount.
*only works on certain plates. Please make sure you double check to see if these are compatible with yours before ordering.
These springs will help you customize your typing experience. Different weights of springs will change the amount of force required to press down each key. The springs were tested by keyboard enthusiasts to the perfect weights.
62g are light springs which are similar to Cherry Brown and Red springs.
68g are medium springs. Medium springs are right between light and heavy. They have a familiar feel to vintage blacks with a lighter touch.
72g are heavy springs. They feel very similar to vintage blacks.
78g are extra heavy, and they have a close resemblance to Cherry Clear springs, but they have a softer feedback (by ~25%).
These stabilizer wires are plated with 24K gold for an aesthetic appeal. The heftiness of the wires helps provide a stable foundation for larger keys.
The SABER is 'An Originative Co. Project'.
A pre-built keyboard with 68 keys that are fully programmable. The SABER is built for the minimalist with a compact design while acknowledging the importance of the function keys. The 68 keys provides arrow keys on the bottom right that the 60% keyboard does omits.
The SABER sets itself apart from other keyboards providing thick PBT keycaps with dye-sublimation printing. The board also provides a stainless steel plate to provide a stronger and more stable foundation. The keyboard is also elevated to provide a more comfortable typing experience.
Dimensions (case): 12 1/4" x 4" x 1 1/4"
This Keycap Tray is a clear design built for displaying and storing your keysets. The tray is created with release knobs to tightly enclose the keycaps in its place. They are also stackable which makes for proper storing of multiple sets.
Convert your Topre to MX with the MX Sliders. This is a Do-It-Yourself project to convert your keyboard to be compatible with MX keycaps.
Item is not in stock. Orders are currently open for group buy. Products are expected to ship to us May 2019. The render will be updated shortly as there will be a few more added keys to the set.
Deep Space is an original keyset designed by Omniclectic.The set uses cool tones and light colors as to not create a lot of contrast. It uses purple and a blue to complement.
All keys shown in the render plus an added a few not updated yet. The picture will be updated.
If you made an order through www.dmkeys.com, please let us know in the note section of the order with your dmkey's order number to be entered in our raffle. We'll release more details with the raffle really soon.
The necro is a deathly set designed by the original plum maker, Jessica. The subtle colors are thrown at each other to add a unique feel versus other sets that have been created in the past. We plan to bring deadly set back and above the grounds.
All Novatouch cases are brand new. Please do not inquire about how we got these.
The Novatouch is a niche mechanical keyboard targeted to both enthusiast and newcomers of the hobby. With the keyboard being compatible with cherry mx sliders, it opened new doors for people searching for a Topre keyboard wanting to use high quality cherry style keycaps. The Novatouch uses an electrostatic capacitive non-contact switch called Topre (or Tokyo Press). It consists of a cherry mx slider in a housing over a rubber dome that embodies a cone-shaped spring over a dual layer PCB. The keyboard features an ergonomic tenkeyless design which provides a more suitable typing experience due to your shoulder width and keyboard to mouse ratio.
The Aluminum Case V1 has been one of our most anticipated products since the first release of the TADA68. The case features a high profile case with side holes on the side for the bottom LEDs. The back includes rubber feet with a hole for the reset button. There will be 4 colors available with the new case: Black, Grey, Red, or Silver.
The case will be considered as a DIY kit as you will have to manually install the PCB from your TADA68 or SABER 68 into the Aluminum Case.

Bullying, death threats and violence: German schools grapple with a string of anti-Semitic incidents

BERLIN - "Should I tell my students?"
Jewish teachers in Germany's public schools are grappling with the question of whether it is safe and appropriate to reveal their identity amid a rise in anti-Semitic incidents in the nation's schools.
"It took me a while until I had the self-confidence to tell people," said 41-year old school teacher Michal Schwartze, who worried early on in her career that she could be seen as biased as she teaches history and politics. Eventually Schwartze decided that she couldn't hide her Jewish perspectives and personal activism against racism and discrimination. "I think it's important to take a position, and to be explicit about my stance," she said.
But 32-year-old Berlin-based teacher Anna Furer, on the other hand, does not want her students to know she's Jewish, especially not the one who praised Adolf Hitler. "I'm trying to ignore this as much as I can, but at the end of the day I have feelings, too," she said, referring to the student's anti-Semitic remarks in the past. She is scared of someone in the classroom eventually finding out how much such comments affect her.
Anti-Semitism still - or once again - poses a challenge to the over 200,000 Jews who are estimated to live in Germany. While police statistics suggest that anti-Semitic incidents have occurred at a similar rate across the country for years, incidents have mounted in some cities, including in Germany's capital Berlin.
According to numbers released by German authorities on Wednesday, numbers surged by more than 10 percent year-on-year and a fifth of anti-Semitic hate crimes in Germany - a category that includes violent or verbal attacks - are now committed in Berlin. While some of the increases may be due to changed reporting mechanisms, authorities view the numbers as a cause for concern. Right-wing extremists were responsible for the vast majority of incidents, followed by attackers with "foreign ideologies" - a phrase that often refers to the influx of immigrants from Muslim countries that have arrived in recent years. Researchers, however, caution against pinning the phenomenon exclusively on these new arrivals.
Recent fears over a resurgence of traditional anti-Semitic patterns across Europe have also triggered a heightened awareness of the problem in Germany in general and in schools in particular, following several cases in which Jewish students were bullied or even assaulted. Whereas scrutiny has focused on public institutions after a student received death threats at a high school in a Berlin suburb last December, private schools are also affected: for months, a boy was allegedly bullied for being Jewish at an elite international school in the center of Berlin.
Yet despite this growing sense of urgency, teachers are still not routinely trained on how to respond to anti-Semitic remarks in schools.
At a recent private workshop for teachers who find themselves confronted with anti-Semitic remarks against their students or themselves, organized by the Berlin-based Competence-Center for Prevention and Empowerment, both Schwartze and Furer recalled incidents they would classify as anti-Semitic. Furer mentioned an Israeli flag that was torn down from posters in the school corridor. Schwartze remembered a students' questions whether the fate of Jews in Nazi concentration camps could be compared to the situation faced by of Palestinians today or why Jews are exempt from paying taxes in Germany - a claim that is false.

Anti-Semitism in schools comes in many facets, both inside and outside the classrooms, and it's sometimes hard to distinguish between legitimate questions and blatant hatred. "We have individuals who are thoroughly anti-Semitic, we have people who simply lack the knowledge - and everything in between," said Berlin's official in charge of anti-discrimination efforts, Saraya Gomis.
Few studies exist on the origins of their beliefs, but anecdotal evidence suggest students often repeat stereotypes in the media, at home, or among peers.
Anti-Semitism watchdogs fear that without a comprehensive governmental response, schools could be educating a generation of young people who subscribe to stereotypes.
Germany's American Jewish Committee (AJC) is collaborating with the regional government in Berlin to better understand the extent of the problem and possible solutions, in a project that is set to be expanded to other parts of the country.
"The truth is: We don't know that much about how to counter this," acknowledged Deidre Berger, AJC's Berlin director.
Conspiracy theories, Berger said, were increasingly prevalent and teachers lacked adequate training or knowledge on how to debunk them, according to the AJC's initial findings.
Some teachers feel that their authority is undermined by student references to their religious leaders. "Students will say: Well, I don't believe that - I'm going to ask my Imam," said Berger. "And that's when a secular democracy is very much put to the test, when students don't believe the authority of their teachers."
Berger drew a direct link between immigration and a perceived increase in reported anti-Semitic incidents, but so far there is no quantitative data to back such claims, researchers cautioned. Official statistics indicate that the vast majority of incidents are still committed by non-immigrants.
Some critics and researchers also worry that the recent heightened attention on anti-Semitism among refugees distracts from long-existing anti-Semitism prevalent in German society. "It's easier to take another group and put all the blame of anti-Semitism on them, rather than to question our own attitudes," said Juliane Wetzel, a researcher at the Center for Research on Anti-Semitism Technical University of Berlin. Although no representative studies exist, in initial interviews Wetzel has found that most refugees are eager to integrate into German culture and learn about the country's history and values.
On a national level, Chancellor Angela Merkel has vowed to confront anti-Semitism, no matter who the perpetrators are. "We have refugees now, for example, or people of Arab origin, who bring a different type of anti-Semitism into the country," Merkel said in a TV interview earlier this year. "But unfortunately, anti-Semitism existed before this," Merkel acknowledged, referring to right-wing attacks or more widespread stereotypes.
But it was the public focus on immigrants that triggered an unprecedented national awareness for a problem teachers themselves have long struggled with.
"Teachers felt left alone with the problems," said Berger.
The problem is amplified by Germany's federalized education system that gives the country's 16 regional state governments authority over their own schools, and has in part prevented a coordinated national response.
Workshops such as the one Schwartze and Furer attended are aimed at filling the gap. Among dozens of other teachers, Schwartze and Furer discussed possible solutions. "I usually try to ask students where they got their arguments from," said Schwartze, who teaches in Frankfurt. "You have to discuss it with them."
Some associations like the Salaam-Shalom initiative have attempted to build bridges between Muslims and Jews by facilitating joint research projects, for instance focused on the Middle East conflict. "Many youths simply don't know what the words they use really mean," Salaam-Shalom coordinator Armin Langer told Berlin's Tagesspiegel daily.
Tackling anti-Semitism primarily as a problem between Jews and Muslims in major hubs like Berlin, however, ignores that anti-Semitism is a far broader concern, critics warn.
Singling out one group to discuss a more widespread issue, said Berlin's Gomis, may trigger racism -and in turn more anti-Semitism.
That's why some teachers like Furer are demanding a more proactive approach in schools that doesn't solely focus on Germany's troubled history. "We shouldn't only discuss Jews as historic victims," said Furer, who was born in Russia and later moved to Germany. "Instead, we should also talk about how much we have contributed to culture and science. We need to show students what Jewish life looks like."


The Corporate Tax Rates have been on a downward slope in many developed countries for some years now. The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) gave another boost to further reduction in rates as countries struggled to stimulate their economies. The UK has the lowest corporate tax rate at 19% and politicians are considering to cut it to 17% by 2020 as a result of the Brexit debacle.
Lowering tax rates for corporations is not necessarily good for a country all the time. For example, one unintended consequence of low tax rates for companies leads to higher tax rates for individuals as governments look to fill the tax revenue gap. This situation may look like robbing Peter to pay Paul. So the key for regulators and politicians is to find the optimal rate that is fairer to both corporations and individuals.

IRA's are still a pretty good deal (see HERE if you need an explanation of what an IRA is). If you have not started one, do. Granted, they are not as good as many pensions or employer sponsored plans, but even if you have those, an IRA can be a great way to achieve tax savings or deferral. Remember, if you plan on making more later or think tax rates will go up, pick Roth. If you think you will make less or taxes will be less, go with traditional.
Enough investing, lets talk about death. Often times the bulk of someone's estate can be in the form of an IRA, which they call, appropriately, and inherited IRA.
Spouses have the flexibility to roll it over into their own plan. This is usually the way to go, unless you are a young widow(er): you get popped with penalties for early withdrawal if you need money before age 59.5, so its best to wait to make the rollover. Else, you can delay distributions until your spouse would have been 70.5. Remember, they general key with IRA's is delay as long as possible.
If a non-spouse inherits an IRA, then all movement of money must be from one IRA custodian to another. Be sure to specify a "trustee-to-trustee" transfer if changing brokerage firms! You can get in trouble on this one if you screw it up.
You must re-title the IRA, including the original owner's name and indicating it is inherited, e.g., "Sally Smith, deceased, inherited IRA for the benefit of Bob Brown, beneficiary." Just do it. Don't ask why.
Must take distributions before Dec. 31 in year following death of decedent.
The Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) is calculated differently than for your own IRA. You take the balance on Dec. 31 of the previous year and divide it by your life expectancy listed in the IRS' "single life expectancy" table, rather than the table used by IRA owners. The next year you use the same life expectancy, minus a year, and so on.
Exception, "5 year rule" : If the original IRA owner died before reaching age 70½ (before required minimum distributions would be required) you also have the option to distribute your inherited IRA under the five-year rule. This allows you to take distributions however you like without penalty, as long as all assets are completely distributed from your inherited IRA by December 31 of the fifth year following the IRA owner's death: just remember these are taxed as ordinary income, so plan accordingly (however, if there was any estate tax pain, you might be able to take a deduction here, but I digress).
If you inherit a Roth IRA and transfer the assets to an Inherited Roth IRA, unlike the original owner, you must take RMDs. As long as the assets have been in the Roth IRA for five or more years, these RMDs can be withdrawn federally tax-free.
Ira's are good. If you don't have one, set one up.
Make sure you name your beneficiaries, and name backups. There are harsh rules with it ends up in an "estate" and you will likely not have the flexible tax options.
If you inherit one, ask for professional help. Play by the rules, transfer them correctly, and you can achieve maximum tax savings and deferral.

wikiHow is a "wiki," similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, 134 people, some anonymous, worked to edit and improve it over time.
Running away is the last resort that should only be attempted in the direst of situations. In many cases, running away can make whatever problem you are trying to escape even worse. If you want to run away be sure to pack stuff that you need, so you don't go starving and or don't get in danger. You also have to be very smart and probably learn to survive alone on the streets. It will be also hard to find a place to stay. For example, search up ways to live on the streets, or what happens on the streets. Be sure you have exhausted every option available to you before you consider running away. And if this is the only option available to you, do not make any hasty decisions. Your safety should always be your number one priority. Remember to keep all variables in mind as you read this article. If you're considering running away or have already run away and need some help, read on.

Have a good reason for leaving. Do not run away for kicks, adventure, or to teach your parents a lesson.[1] X Research source Living on the streets is difficult, and nature will not provide you with blankets when you are cold or food when you are hungry. If you are being abused or neglected, the safest solution is to call Children's Aid or the police before trying to run away.
Some teens, especially those with troubled families, think that foster care is worse than running away. Whatever your experience may be, the majority of foster parents truly care about the health and well-being of their foster children.

Don't hold false perceptions. Running away from home is hard. You will be separated from the places you are familiar with and the people who know and support you, and you will be completely responsible for satisfying all your basic needs.[2] X Research source Even adults struggle with daily life - don't think this will be any different for you.[3] X Research source
You may feel like running away is your only solution, but this kind of thinking is never accurate.[4] X Research source There are always many solutions to a problem, and running away should be a last resort.
As a teen, it will be difficult for you to make money to pay for food and shelter. Unfortunately, because of this reason, around 1 in 3 teens who run away resort to trading sexual favors for food or a place to stay.[5] X Research source This will put you at risk for sexually transmitted diseases, sexual abuse, and/or manipulation.

Evaluate your reason(s) for leaving. You may believe that your reason(s) for running away from home are strong justifications for wanting to do so. However, when you feel strongly about something, it can be difficult to think clearly.[6] X Research source Take time to carefully think about why you want to run away; get as much perspective on your issue as you can.

Remember that no matter how difficult your situation or how alone you feel, there are people who care deeply about your safety and well-being.
Realize the nature of your problem. Though running away might remove you from the problem you are facing, it will not solve it or make you feel better about the way you've been treated.[8] X Research source , by running away, you may cause whatever is happening to you to shift to someone else, such as a sibling who cares for you.

Plan ahead. Running away without proper preparation can put your life in danger. Take as much time as you need to figure out a game plan. Where you are going, transportation, work, and shelter are all important to consider. Gather supplies beforehand, some of which might include:
Change for the laundromat
Change of clothes (x2)
Change of underwear/bra (x2)
Toothbrush/paste
Tampons/pads
Non-perishable food (granola bars, canned food)

Travel light. Carrying a heavy load can slow you down if you need to move quickly. As a teen runaway, many other homeless people will be bigger and stronger than you, and if you need to escape, you need to do so quickly, without being bogged down by creature comforts. Only pack necessities. Take as much cash as you are able, but be wary of credit or debit cards, which can be tracked. Pack for your destination. If you are heading somewhere cold, your greatest concern should be keeping warm.
Keep in mind that arid climates, like the desert, get very cold after dark. A lightweight thermal blanket could save your life.

Choose to run to a safe location. Staying in a forest, park, or nature preserve is not recommended. All it takes is a bad step and you may be stranded with a broken ankle far from medical help. If you want to live in the country, be sure to travel along main routes where you can flag down help if needed. If you live in a city or are running to an urban area, try to find a shelter. If you don't have any safe options, try to rest in a busy place during the day. Sleep on a blanket in the park or at the beach during the day. This will make you look less suspicious and more like a normal person taking a nap.
A location with public transportation is a good choice, as it is cheaper and faster than other options.
A bicycle can be useful, but its weight and safety can be a bigger hassle than help.
Bridges offer protection from the elements and the cement will hold warmth from the day through the night. Beware of others if you attempt sleeping under a bridge; these are popular locations for other homeless people.
If you chose to go to a homeless shelter, you must be prepared to answer questions when you arrive.
A friend or a relative's house should be considered but will come with its own rules. You will always have to respect the homes of others.
Find a place to get the help you need. The most important thing you can do after you escape your situation is get to a place of wellness. Whatever trauma made you leave home in the first place, there will likely be some resulting issues you'll need to address before you can start living a healthy and happy life.[10] X Research source [11] X Trustworthy Source HelpGuide Nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free, evidence-based mental health and wellness resources. Go to source Before you leave, do some research on the area you are running away to, and find halfway homes, detox centers, or counseling centers so you can get yourself the help you need.
If you have turned to drugs or alcohol as a way of coping with the things you have suffered, this will eventually cause even greater harm to you physically and emotionally.

Think ahead about work. As a teen, even working at a fast-food establishment will require you to have parental consent along with other necessary information, like an address and your Social Security number. Eventually, you will run out of supplies and money. You will need a source of income to support yourself. When applying for a job, hint that you are looking to make some extra money working "under-the-table", which means you will be paid directly by your employer secretly, usually in cash. Some under-the-table work options you can consider:
Busboy (restaurant)
Landscaping/gardening
Living Away from Home

Escape your situation. Leave when you won't be seen and be sure you won't be immediately noticed. For example, you may want to call into school sick and leave on your way, or you might consider leaving right after everyone is in bed. This will give you a few hours to put distance between you and the place you are running from. Try to make it as far away as possible before stopping to rest. To make yourself more difficult to find, you should try to get out of town, and eventually, your state.[13] X Research source
The train or a bus can take you a great distance for a small cost. Wear a cap with a brim or a hood so that your face is covered and you do not show up on security footage.
To make yourself less noticeable, dye your hair a common color that's different from your natural shade and/or cut your hair. Be sure your new haircut/dye job doesn't look sloppy; some might question your appearance if you aren't careful.
Take clothes you rarely or never wear. You can always purchase new clothing cheap from a thrift store so you aren't wearing anything that can identify you.
Always put food first. This is your top priority. You can fill up a bottle of water at nearly any sink, but beware labels that say "Not Potable", as this means the water isn't intended for drinking. Take all food you find (but make sure it is good to eat) and all food offered to you, and be sure to eat it before it goes bad, even if you aren't hungry.
However, never take food from someplace or someone that doesn't look or isn't reputable or trustworthy. If someone or someplace looks suspicious, or if food smells or looks suspicious, take the food, but when the person leaves, toss it away. Don't refuse it or toss it away in their sight because they might hurt you if you do so. Trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. For example, if you are given some spinach and you feel a sick feeling in your stomach as you look at it, do not eat it. Or if someone or someplace looks reputable or safe, but you feel suspicious, don't eat the offered gift. Some people can and will give you poisoned food and drinks. Never, under any circumstances, drink any liquids offered to you. They may be spiked or contain poison. Only drink water from water fountains where the water is good to drink.

Practice good hygiene. This is especially important when you start looking for work, but will also keep you from getting picked up by police for vagrancy (homelessness). Stay away from dangerous places where robbers or rapists could be lurking, which includes alleys or secluded areas of parks. Although cleanliness is important, try to look as sexually unappealing as you can to protect yourself from predators.
Dress like you are going to school or an informal church event, not like you are going to a party. Clothing with lots of pockets will provide you with places to keep the necessary supplies.
Never resort to prostitution or to using alcohol/drugs. Don't let anyone pay you for sex. This could result in you getting hurt, robbed, or the person might even refuse to pay you after finishing with you. The person may wait until you are vulnerable before asking you to go farther than you are comfortable. Your money will be necessary to pay for things you need to survive; do not waste any of your limited cash on alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes.
Although other runaways/homeless may abuse drugs or alcohol, and may even offer you some, always refuse the offer. It will be difficult for you to defend yourself when drunk, high, or incapacitated.

Determine places you can take care of your needs. Private/public restrooms, while not the most comfortable, are good places you can groom yourself. Have an answer ready for anyone who questions you. Something like, "I've been traveling with my mom all day to get to my grandparents house and we stopped here to freshen up," might prevent the police from being called on you. Ladies can use Nair to remove hair and maintain appearances. Try not to look suspicious when taking care of your bathroom routine.
Maintain your safety. There are many tools you can use to keep safe, like a rape whistle, pepper spray, or a multi-tool, which can be used both for protection and in emergencies. Keep your tool well hidden but within reach at all times. Money should be kept in your underwear, not in socks or bras, which is where many people first look.[14] X Research source [15] X Research source
If someone says, "I saw you with money last night," say that it's all gone, even if you still have some.
Keep a spare, visible bag or purse with a few dollars and coins. This way, if you're robbed, they'll take this instead.[16] X Research source
If you run out of money for food, be careful when begging. This will draw attention, and in some cases, upset other homeless. It is also illegal to beg for money in some places.
A supermarket that offers free samples is a great place you can find food without drawing attention to yourself. If someone asks, you can always say you're waiting for your mom.
Do not steal. This is not only illegal and immoral, but it will draw the attention of others, including the police. Stealing can result in even more serious consequences than simply being returned from where you have run.
Have answers to questions. People will likely ask questions if they see you around when school is in session or brushing your teeth in a public restroom. Don't respond to these with the first thing that comes to mind. Come up with a story explaining your situation and stick to it; this will prevent inconsistencies that will make people question you. Think ahead of time about what people might say in response to your story so you are prepared with a believable response.

Do not use your cellphone. This can be used to locate you after you've run away, but in an emergency, it can save your life. Keeping your cell phone turned off will prevent you from being tracked, or you can replace your SIM card.[17] X Research source

Only run away if you have no other alternative. This decision can have a serious and permanent negative impact your life. You can be hurt or even killed away from the protection of your community, friends, and family. If you're being abused, call the police.
If you have good wilderness survival skills, pack a portable shelter and any essentials and camp out in the great outdoors for a while. This is not a permanent solution though.
Don't fidget, stutter, or hesitate when lying. This may cause people to not believe what you are saying.

If you resort to a runaway shelter, they will contact your parents if they recognize you. It's best to go to a shelter outside your city so no one will recognize you.
Exercise common sense. By running away, you can face the risk of getting caught, mugged, raped, kidnapped, or murdered. It is something you might regret for the rest of your life.

Try to find somewhere safe to stay at night. You don't want to wander around at night, as there is a higher chance you may run into a criminal.
Don't become too confident. Overconfidence can make you an easy target and will also make you easier to find.
Unless you're running from an abusive home, in which case you should call the police, leave a note so your parents don't think you've been abducted. Keep it simple, only stating that you've run away.
Don't bring weapons or look-alike weapons. Bring pepper spray instead. Weapons are illegal to carry around and someone will report you to the police if you have one. The police will think you are a smuggler, murderer, or just a criminal.

If you're a teen who's thinking about running away from home, keep in mind that running away should be a last resort, since it can be very difficult to survive on the streets. To find out what other options are available to you, try calling the National Runaway Safeline at 1-800-786-2929, where you can speak to someone anonymously. If you're sure that running away is the best option, make sure to pack only the basic necessities, such as a sleeping bag, clothes, cash, toothbrush and toothpaste, and non-perishable food, like granola bars and canned goods. By packing light, you'll be able to move quickly, especially if you're in a dangerous situation. Then, run to a safe location, such as a homeless shelter or halfway house. If you don't have such places nearby, try to sleep in a busy place, like a park or beach, and stay on the move during the night. That way, you'll look more like a normal person taking a nap, which will make it easier for you to stay on the run. For more advice, including how to find food and stay safe while you're on the run, keep reading.

STATE v. LANTZ
STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Justin David LANTZ, Appellee.
No. 1D17–1681
Decided: February 23, 2018
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Jason W. Rodriguez, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Justin Karpf, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
The State appeals an order suppressing a number of incriminating statements made by Justin Lantz after invoking his right to counsel. We reverse in part and remand because some of the incriminating statements suppressed by the trial court were offered voluntarily by Mr. Lantz and were not the product of questions, or other actions by law enforcement that were reasonably likely to elicit incriminating responses.
Mr. Lantz was charged with first degree murder of his mother and he entered a plea of not guilty. After being arrested late one night under a bridge, and in close proximity to his dead mother's floating body, Mr. Lantz was brought to an interrogation room at the police station. He was told of his rights to remain silent and to counsel. And he asked for a lawyer. At this, the officers told Mr. Lantz that they'd like to talk to him again after he got a lawyer. They told him that he would leave the room to go to the jail after a crime scene technician arrived to process him for physical evidence (he had scrapes and cuts on his body). But then, they had to wait for the technician to arrive for about two hours. In the meantime, officers got Mr. Lantz coffee and they waited for the technician to arrive. During this period, Mr. Lantz became chatty and made incriminating statements. He has filed a motion to suppress the statements, arguing that he made them within the context of an unlawful interrogation after he had invoked his constitutional right to counsel.
After a suppression hearing, the trial court ordered some of his statements suppressed and others not. The State appeals the suppression order asserting that six portions of his statements shouldn't be suppressed because Mr. Lantz volunteered the information without law enforcement asking questions of him or taking other actions reasonably likely to elicit his incriminating responses.
A ruling on a motion to suppress is reviewed by the appellate court with a presumption of correctness. Martin–Godinez v. State, 225 So.3d 926, 927 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017) (citing Spivey v. State, 45 So.3d 51, 54 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010) ). "This Court applies a mixed standard of review, giving deference to the factual findings that are supported by competent, substantial evidence, but reviewing the determination of constitutional rights de novo." Id. The ultimate question here, of whether the action of officers constitutes "interrogation" for Miranda purposes, is a legal question that we review de novo. See Everett v. State, 893 So.2d 1278, 1284 (Fla. 2004); United States v. Yepa, 862 F.3d 1252, 1258 (10th Cir. 2017).
The Florida and United States Constitutions protect those arrested for committing crimes against being compelled to become witnesses against themselves in their own criminal cases. U.S. Const. amend. V; Art. I, § 9, Fla. Const.; Ramirez v. State, 739 So.2d 568, 572–73 (Fla.1999). Suspects arrested for crimes must be notified of their "right to remain silent, that any statement [made] may be used as evidence against [them], and [of the] right to the presence of an attorney, either retained or appointed." Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 444, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966). "Once warnings have been given, the subsequent procedure is clear․ If the individual states that he wants an attorney, the interrogation must cease until an attorney is present." Id. at 473–74, 86 S.Ct. 1602. Continuing with an interrogation after invocation of the right to counsel risks suppression of whatever exculpatory or inculpatory statements arise from the interrogation. Id. at 479, 86 S.Ct. 1602 ("[U]nless and until such warnings and waiver are demonstrated by the prosecution at trial, no evidence obtained as a result of interrogation can be used against him."). But see, e.g., New York v. Quarles, 467 U.S. 649, 651, 104 S.Ct. 2626, 81 L.Ed.2d 550 (1984) (recognizing limited exceptions to the prophylactic rule).
Once the right to counsel has been invoked, Miranda requires counsel during interrogations. But it does "not require counsel's presence for all further communications; only for interrogations." Everett v. State, 893 So.2d 1278, 1284 (Fla. 2004) (emphasis in original); see also Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477, 485–86, 101 S.Ct. 1880, 68 L.Ed.2d 378 (1981) ("The Fifth Amendment right identified in Miranda is the right to have counsel present at any custodial interrogation. Absent such interrogation, there would have been no infringement of the right."). Thus, Miranda is implicated only when a defendant in custody is subjected to questioning or "its functional equivalent." Rhode Island v. Innis, 446 U.S. 291, 301, 100 S.Ct. 1682, 64 L.Ed.2d 297 (1980); see also Traylor v. State, 596 So.2d 957, 966 (Fla. 1992) ("These guidelines ․ do not apply to volunteered statements initiated by the suspect or statements that are obtained in noncustodial settings or through means other than interrogation"). Interrogation "refers not only to express questioning, but also to any words or actions on the part of the police (other than those normally attendant to arrest and custody) that the police should know are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response from the suspect." Innis, 446 U.S. at 301, 100 S.Ct. 1682; see also Traylor, 596 So.2d at 966, n.17 ("Interrogation takes place for Section 9 purposes when a person is subjected to express questions, or other words or actions, by a state agent, that a reasonable person would conclude are designed to lead to an incriminating response."). However, "no interrogation occurs where an officer does not initiate a conversation and merely responds to the suspect." Gordon v. State, 213 So.3d 1050, 1053 (Fla. 4th DCA 2017). "Officers do not interrogate a suspect simply by hoping that he will incriminate himself." Arizona v. Mauro, 481 U.S. 520, 529, 107 S.Ct. 1931, 95 L.Ed.2d 458 (1987).
In this case, the State challenges the suppression of five parts of a police-station dialogue between Mr. Lantz and officers after he had invoked his right to counsel. The State argues that it was not interrogating Mr. Lantz when he voluntarily offered inculpatory statements, and we partly agree.
The State first challenges the suppression of statements found in the record, page 114, line 9 through line 20, of the interview transcript. The statements are immediately preceded by dialogue that the trial court did not suppress. In this section, the officer responded to a question posed by Mr. Lantz regarding potential sentences for murder as follows:
Mr. Lantz: What's murder these days? Life?"
[Investigator]: I don't know anything. I've been doing this 27 years, to be honest with you, sir. It [sic] really, case by case (unintelligible)."
Mr. Lantz: I didn't—I didn't kill the b****, but somebody paid me to f***ing help him. That was a good way to make money.
[Investigator]: No.
Mr. Lantz: Somebody else killed her. I didn't kill her. The body was there. He told me to come get her. 10 grand (unintelligible) pay me. Never going to see that money. And now he got away with murder, and I get the f***ing rap.
In this instance, there wasn't officer questioning, or words or actions by an officer "reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response from the suspect." Innis, 446 U.S. at 301, 100 S.Ct. 1682. The officer simply responded to an unsolicited question from Mr. Lantz regarding the sentence for murder, and did so in way that didn't invite Mr. Lantz's incriminating response. These circumstances do not constitute interrogation requiring suppression of Mr. Lantz's incriminating statements. See Gordon, 213 So.3d at 1054 (finding no interrogation where the officer responded to the suspect's question and "did not initiate the conversation, nor did he assume wrongdoing on appellant's part, and finally did not call for appellant to respond").
For similar reasons, we conclude that the trial court erroneously suppressed statements found in the record at page 126, line 6, through page 128, line 10; and page 134, line 1 through page 135, line 16. As in the first instance, the officers in these later parts of the transcript variously responded to questions posed by Mr. Lantz. But they did not ask questions, or take actions that were reasonably likely to elicit incriminating statements. We thus reverse the suppression order also with respect to these parts of the dialogue.
In all of these instances, it wasn't unlawful for officers to wait with Mr. Lantz for the crime scene technician to arrive, even if Mr. Lantz was intoxicated at the time. See, e.g., Pennsylvania v. Muniz, 496 U.S. 582, 600–606, 110 S.Ct. 2638, 110 L.Ed.2d 528 (1990) (holding that an intoxicated suspect's statements to officers over a period of time were not the product of interrogation); Mauro, 481 U.S. at 529, 107 S.Ct. 1931 (recognizing that police don't "interrogate" a suspect simply by hoping he will confess). Nor do we think that giving Mr. Lantz coffee was reasonably likely to elicit incriminating statements. See, e.g., Bobby v. Dixon, 565 U.S. 23, 29, 132 S.Ct. 26, 181 L.Ed.2d 328 (2011) (finding that a defendant's statements were voluntarily made, in part, because he "was given water and offered food, and was not abused or threatened").
With respect to all other parts of the transcript challenged by the State, we affirm.
Affirmed in part, Reversed in part and Remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Lewis, Osterhaus, and Bilbrey, JJ., concur.

Toys for Tots in need of gifts for kids and teens ages 12-15
Anna Saunders
BECKLEY, WV (WOAY) – Toys for Tots here in Southern West Virginia is still collecting toys and donations for this year's drive.
Because of the pandemic, the children and their families will be picking up the toys in a contactless drive-thru.
Organizers say the need was so big this year that they had to get creative and still find a way to make it work. This year, like every year, Assistant LCO Pam Vines says they are in need of gifts for children and teens ages 12 to 15.
"Hair dryers, flat irons, makeup sets. Boys: cologne sets, dart games, footballs, basketballs, soccer. You know, craft gifts are wonderful for the girls, puzzles, things like that," she said.
You can head over to their Facebook page to see drop off locations or head to their website to make a monetary donation.
If you would like to apply for your child ages birth to 15 years old to be a part of the program, head over to toysfortots.org.
Anna Saunders is a weekend reporter for WOAY. With a diploma from Princeton Senior High School and a mother from Fayette County, she is no stranger to the area. She received a degree in Media Arts and Design from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia and wanted to return home to start her career as a reporter.


See what the IHS Markit Score report has to say about bluebird bio Inc.
Short interest is high for BLUE with between 15 and 20% of shares on loan. This means that investors who seek to profit from falling equity prices are currently targeting BLUE. However, the last change in the short interest score occurred more than 1 month ago and implies that there has been little change in sentiment.
ETF activity is neutral. ETFs that hold BLUE had net inflows of $1.45 billion over the last one-month. While these are not among the highest inflows of the last year, the rate of inflow is increasing.

A hip guide to alternative Barcelona film: original-version & arthouse cinemas, movie reviews & independent film festivals.

Serielizados Fest
By Aimee Lawrence
The big binge on small screen entertainment is a satisfying vocation. Sometimes, there's few things more appealing in attempts to unwind. Barcelona's international TV series festival is now in its sixth year and across the five days, more than twenty shows will be premiered.
Every edition looks to a country to give the festival a theme, and this year Denmark is the source of stimulus. Danish screenwriter Jeppe Gjervig Gram, co-creator and writer of Danish political TV drama Borgen, will premiere Follow The Money III. Keeping with Denmark, also premiering will be The New Nurses, a drama set in the 20th century that tells the story of the first men who wanted to study and practice as nurses, as well as Doggystyle, which follows a young woman's aspirations of becoming an actress who, through failure, finds herself back home.
There will also be screenings from Finland, Chile and South Korea.

Claudio Bravo saw his record for minutes without conceding at the start of the season in La Liga end at 754 minutes. It was a penalty courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo in the 34th minute that ended it.
The streak comes to an end after leaving Elche, Villarreal, Athletic Club, Levante, Malaga, Granada, Rayo Vallecano, and Eibar in its wake. The streak brought down Pedro Artola's record to start the league, which was set in 1977/78 at 560 minutes.
There were still others ahead. Bravo needed just 70 minutes more to pass Barça's overall league record of 824 minutes set by Miguel Reina in 1972/73.


The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol in 2006 as a means of improving respect for the rights of persons with disabilities, who, according to the latest figures, comprise some 15 per cent of the world's population. Since 2006, ratification of the Convention and Optional Protocol has proceeded at a rapid pace. However, knowledge about the Convention and how to implement and monitor it has not necessarily kept up. This in turn has led to an increase in requests for training courses to build capacities of national stakeholders—representatives of Government, civil society, national human rights institutions (NHRIs) and others.


"Keen historians are being invited to help a team of Exeter University archaeologists uncover secrets of an ancient Bronze Age and medieval site.Members of the public are invited to the dig to investigate the remains of a medieval building near an old manor house.
The team have worked at the site, in Stokenham, near Kingsbridge, for two years and they will reopen it again from July 2 to 24. Last year's excavation unearthed a number of finds including the remains of a medieval manor house and Bronze Age pottery.
Project director Penny Cunningham said that anyone who wanted to help would not need any particular skills. "They will be asked to sort or wash finds like pottery and will help analyse them," she said.
"We want to encourage people to think about ownership of the past, especially among people who have been living in the area for a long time."
The team will work from 9am to 5pm every day except Fridays. Anyone who wants to lend should just turn up.
There are open days on the weekends of July 7 and 8, 14 and 15 and 21 and 22.
Children of all ages are welcome to participate in the junior archaeologist workshop days on July 7, 14 and 21 from 10am to 3pm.
The dig is in the field immediately behind Stokenham parish church.
For more information contact Dr Williams, Department of Archaeology, Laver, University of Exeter, EX4 4QE, or h.m.r.williams@exeter.ac . uk, or call 01392 262491."
